Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in what witnesses described as an aggressive encounter outside the House chamber on Wednesday afternoon during which she accused the Democrat of supporting terrorists.
It prompted a complaint by Ocasio-Cortez’s to authorities to ensure Congress remained ‘a safe, civil place for all members and staff.’
The episode erupted on Wednesday afternoon after Ocasio-Cortez had criticized the Biden administration’s stance on Israel.
As Ocasio-Cortez left the House chamber Greene shouted ‘Hey Alexandria’ twice to get her attention, according to Washington Post journalists who saw the confrontation.
